Thanks.
Out of interest, when the performers get paid for their time, is that Disney’s broadway division paying them to be there or is it Parks & Resorts?

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Just when I thought my AP would be worthless when I go to the DCP... YEET!

I honestly don’t know one from the other but plan on seeing the show.

Have you seen any Disney on Broadway shows while the Original Broadway Cast was still performing?

No. But I'm doing the dining package anyway so will enjoy it for the performance without knowing one performer from the other.

Just curious, if I want the magnets for me and my family but don't want to park and walk into the park, can I drop off a family member with everyone's wristbands and photo IDs and have that person get all of the magnets and leave the park? .

That’s a question for WDW but my gut answer is “no.” “Must be present to claim” is likely their response. Otherwise they would have a rush of people claiming on behalf of many others causing the stock to run out.

That's worked for me with the last two magnets, but I assume it's at the discretion of the castmember.

It may be a stretch but never hurts to ask. if any AP have no interest in the magnet but wouldn't mind picking on up I'd love one for my collection. I get all the AP magnets [that I can anyway] and collect figment stuff too. best of both worlds! I even have an extra Donald AP magnet if anyone wants a trade

I work at MouseGear and it really depends on the castmember. The only rule is one magnet per passholder.
I'll have a parent come in with cards for the whole family and that is fine (as long as you have valid proof of being a passholder).

I recognized a few, I saw Aton fitzgerald White when he was Mufasa in The lion king and Kerry Butler when she was Belle.
I would love it if they could have gotten James Monroe Iglehart, lol I think he's kick Robin Williams out of my head for Genie. I did see him in Hamilton though, he plays Thomas Jefferson.

Yeah, and he still is in Hamilton, so he’s busy. He was wonderful as Genie. Seeing Hamilton in March and I imagine he’s still going to be on.
Lower your expectations. He's good in those roles, but not show-stopping good. I blame the music assigned to those roles.

I thought he was fabulous in Alladin, he definitely had the better role.
I agree with you on Hamilton but then Jefferson is not a huge part which is probably why they split it with Marquis de lafayette.

If a CM says, "Go for it", that works for me. Even if my original hunch was "No", without knowing the opinion of a CM, better to ask forgiveness than permission, I say.
